Zip Tie Type Bearing Holders For Reprap Pro Huxley

thingiverse

For my Reprappro Huxley's push fit type bearing holders, I encountered consistent breaking during insertion attempts (three times). Possible reasons include my clumsiness or improper deburring of the inside face. However, it is more likely that incorrect slicing settings were to blame (since resolved by setting a fixed extrusion width ratio in Slic3r). For others facing similar issues, I modified the parts to be shorter and added zip ties on holders using super glue. The X carriage was also prone to breaking; a dab of super glue suffices for this part. Note that I used STEP models from GITHUB in 123d, but found the floating bearing holder shape slightly different (possibly older) than the STL one from Thingyverse. However, this should not affect installation as all hole centers are identical. The modifications are drop-in replacements; simply add zip ties and super glue. Source files are available in the attached zip file.
